HOSPITAL TO ENLARGE ITS NURSE SCHOOL
Need For More Nurses For War Duty Meets Response By Trustees. (Contributed.) As a part of a nation-wide movement to provide sufficient nurses for war work the Reid Memorial Hospital of this city is making plans to materially increase the enrollment in its training school for nurses. .. Hospitals all over the country are taking In aB many pupils as they can accommodate in order to replace as quickly as possible the large number of nurses ho have gone abroad with the Red Cross base hospitals and to provide a reserve on which to draw as the need for more nurses develops. To those not acquainted with the situation, it. seems that beginning now on a three year's course of training Is a rather poor way to meet a present emergency, but while the nurses entering at this time "will not be graduated for three years they will begin to relieve the shortage in a much less time for before they have finished their training they will be able to release graduate nurses from many hospital positions so that the number available for war service will begin to increase within a year and will increase progressively during the three year period. The nurses entering training at this time would also be available for work under the direction of graduate nurses, in the large convalescent hospitals being built throughout the country, If the need became very urgent. About fifteen thousand nurses have already been enrolled by the American Red Cross. Many of these have volunteered for war service and two thousand are now in the hospitals in Europe. The number of nurses already enrolled Is adequate to care for
an army of a million and a half and as the enrollment has been Incresing at the rate of one thousand a month, the present needs are fully provided for. The problem confronting the nursing profession and the hospitals is that of providing a constant supply of nurses to meet the increasing needs of the military hospitals as. the sle of our forces is increased and at the same time provide for the necessary care of the civilian population. Miss Jane A. Delano, chairman of the National Committee pn Nursing Service of the American Red Cross, recently issued the following statement in regard to the situation: "It is of the greatest importance that able and educated young women should be urged to enter the regular training schools and take - the usual v course in order to fit themselves fully for nursing. "While our present needs are being met, the burden of the war will increase rapidly. It is highly desirable that the ablest, most experienced nurses should be released ior service , behind the lines, and a constant supply of younger nurses, thoroughly trained, will allow these older women to leave their posts in this country without danger to our own sick." "The Red Cross requirements for nurses have been somewhat modified in order that, if needed, thousaVls of additional nurses may be eligible for enrollment with the American Red Cross and available for call should the necessity arise The principal change contemplated is to reduce the lower age limit to specially qualified nurses, and to place on the eligible list training schools for nurses which are recommended by State Boards of Registration, even though the schools have a daily average of somewhat less than the reqrred fifty patients. "In order to further increase the available supply of nurses, the schools lor nurses giving a three year course may be requested to advanc? the date of graduation of puplJ-nurses. perhaps to the end of the second year of study, should the exigencies of war make such action seem desirable." "The national committee is also enrolling Public Health Nurses with a view to protecting them from service as bed-side nurses where their special training would not be fully utilized." The Wayne County Chapter of the American Red Cross presented the question of Increasing the size of the training school at a recent meeting o! the board of trustees of the hospital and the board decided at once that it was , their patriotic duty to train as many nurses as the facilities of the hospital would permit and immediate!y authorized an increase in the enrollment of the training school. It is felt that the clinical material of the hospital Is adequate for the training of fifty percent more nurses than are at present enrolled and if this number of applicants can be secured the board is prepared to meet the various problems that will at once arise.The chief difficulty is that of housing the larger number of nurses as the nurses' home is over-crowded even with the present enrollment, but various plans are being considered and -when the number of applicants is known, adequate quarters will be provided for them. Another important problem will be to meet the added expanse as the hospital has been operating without profit with the present number of nurses and while the increase in number will be considerably increase the expense, it will be not in
crease the income of the hospital. The . board fe?ls, however, that under present conditions its duty is perfectly clear. - ' Of course authorizing an increase in the size of the school only makes possible the training of a larger number of nurses and unless the nurse3 can be obtained nothing will be accomplished but it Js felt that the difficulty will be In making a selection lather than in securing the necessary tumber. Young women throughout the country are realizing that nursing ij by far the most valuable form of war service that can be rendered by women and the fact that a comparatively long period of training is necessary is the reason that it is so extremely valuable. The" Presbyterian Hospital in, Chicago recently admitted a class of seventy which is the largest in the history of the institution and other hospitals are finding no difficulty In securing as many applicants as they can accommodate. If it were necessary, much might be
H otxseHoId Hints I
MENU HINT Breakfast Bananas Cracked Wheat ; . Coffee Luncheon Cream of Tomato Soup Croutons Drop Cakes Tea Dinner Sheppard'6 Pie String Beans Graham Muffins Butter Tapioca Cream HINTS FOR PIE BAKERS The next time yon bake pies, especially juicy pies, try adding a little corn , starch to the crust. One teaspoonful to a pie will present the under crust from being heavy. Try mixing the sugar and flour and adding to it the fruit before putting your pie together. The pie. will be more evenly sweetened and you will not bite Into any lumps of flour. Do not stretch the top crust tight. In pressing the edges together push the edge of the top crust toward the center of the pie. This allows plenty of room for the fruit to cook and prevents the crust from bursting open and the Juice escaping. Save an onuce of juice or an ounce of meat or potato. SAVE STALE BREAD; IT HAS MANY USES Here are several different ways of using stale bread which perhaps will be of some help to many women. Dressing Put stale bread In hot water till soft, then drain in cloth bag. Put In pan. and salt, pepper, celery salt and powdered sage. Fry onion in little bacon fryings or other good drippings, then add this onion to bread mixture, and mix well, then make croquettes. Let stand for about one hour or till set and either fry them or just before taking out a roast beef or veal put croquettes In gravy. Let fry for few minutes. They are very good and make a pretty decoration by putting small spray of parsley In each croquette and putting them around the roast. They are a good substitute for potatoes. Breaded Chops Use one small can tomatoes, five pork or Iamb chops,
one onion and grated, stale orecui. rut one row of bread crumbs on bottom of casserole then chops (if veal or Iamb is : used instead- of pork chops put small piece of butter on bread crumbs), salt, paprika and small piece of. onion, so on till all meat is used and put row of bread crumbs on top layer quite thick, pour tomatoes over all and bake in moderate oven about one hour. Save Flour In making cookies (white) use half flour and alf bread crumbs grated till fine, instead of all flour and cookies will be fine. Scalloped Apples Cut -small onehalf of home-made bread (stale) or one small baker's loaf, remove soft part and crumbs by rubbing through a colander; melt one-quarted cup butter and stir in lightly with fork, cover bottom of buttered pudding dish with crumbs and spread over one-half the apples (about one cup). Sprinkle with one-third cup sugar, nutmeg, little lemon juice and little of the rind, repeat till one quart of apples is used and three-quarters cup sugar, grated
i rind and juice of one-half lemon, cover
with remaining crumbs and bake In moderate oven forty minutes. Cover at first to prevent crumbs browning too rapidly. Serve with eugar and cream. Bread and Butter Apple PuddingCover bottom of a shallow baking dish with apple sauce. Cut 6tale bread in one-third Inch slices, spread with softened butter, remove crusts and cut la triangular shaped pieces, then arrange closely together over apples. Sprinkle generously with sugar to which is added few drops vanilla. Bake in moderate oven and serve with cream. Dresden Patties Cut stale bread In two-Inch slices, shape with a round cutter three inches in diameter, remove centers, making cases. Dip cases in egg slightly beaten, diluted with milk and seasoned with salt, allowire; two tablespoons milk to each egg. When the bread Is thoroughly soaked, drain and f xyt in deep fat. nil with any mixture. either left over meat or tuna flsh or any other mixture suitable for patty cases.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: (1) I am seventeen years old and I went to a barn party on Hallowe'en night The boy who lives next door took me, but we were not invited to go together. I met a nice-looking boy wno asked
to take me home, and I let him. Did I do right? (2) The boy next door got awful mad and he doesn't walk home from school with me any more or speak to me. What can I do to win back his friendship? (3) There is going to be a Christmas dance at school and the boy next door asked , me to go. Do you think he will take me now? Should I wait and
go with him, or should I accept another Invitation if I get it? DOTTY (1) Since the boy who lives next door took you to the party he of course expected to take you home. You should not have given the other
, boy permission without first talking
it over witn tne ooy next door "(2) Sometime when you see him in his yard or on the street go up to him and tell him you did not realize you would hurt his feelings by letting the other boy take you home. Tell him that your are sorry and you hope he will forgive you this time and not let it come between your friendship. (3) He will probably not consider taking you unless you say something to him about the other night If he isn't big enough to forgive you when you apologize he certainly will not expect you to hold your engagement for the dance open for him. If he remains angry consider yourself free to accept another invitation. Dear Mrs. Thompson: One day when I was going uptown I got on the car and a girl friend of mine was on the car. She made room for me but I did not go and sit by her. She seemed to be writing some of her lessons. I cm asking if it would be
said as to the advantages of taking up nursing as a profession entirely apart from the present patriotic reasons which alone should appeal however to the young women of the country. The work is interesting and useful and for women fitted by education and ability there are many attractive positions both in teaching and hospital administration. Public health nursing offers a field for very important service to those who may not care to continue hospital or private nursing. For those who may not continue in the profession, there is no more valuable training for home life with its many problems. The present opportunity to enter the profession at a time when there is so great a need should appeal particularly to young women who have rinished high school or college and are not yet decided as to what vocation they will follow. The hospital authorities will gladly furnish information to al who may be interested.
HOW TO GET RELIEF FROM CATARRH If you have catarrh, catarrhal deafness, or head noises go to your druggist and get 1 oz. of Parmint (double strength), take this home add to it pint of hot water and 4 oz. of granulated sugar. Take 1 tablespoonful 4 times a day. This will often bring quick relief from tho distressing head noises. Clogged nostrils should open breathing become easy and the musous stop dropping into the throat . It is easy to make, tastes pleasant and costs little. Every one who has catarrh should give this treatment a trial. You wjll probably find it is just what you need. For sale by Clem Thistle-thwaite.
correct for me to sit with her. BEN. R. M. Yes, by making room for you when she saw you, she invited you to come and sit by her and it would have been all right for you to have done so. It was thoughtful of you not to want to disturb her when she was working on her lessons, but you could have sat down by her and not disturbed her work. Dear Mrs Thompson: I have a friend who is a very good looking girl. She has a wart on her ring finger which makes her very unhappy. Can you tell me how she could get rid of it? PICCOLLS. Get some strong nitric acid at the drug store. Apply a small drop of the acid to the top of the wart with a toothpick, and be very careful not to get any of the acid on the other part of the hand. After the acid has worked a few minutes, wash it thoroughly. You will probably have to do this several times, before the wart begins to wither.
Simple Way To End Dandruff
There is one way that has never failed to remove dandruff at once, and that is to dissolve it then you destroy it entirely. To do thi3, just get about four ounces of plain, common liquid arvon from any drug store (this is all you will need), apply it at night when
retiring; use enough to moisten the
scalp and rub it in gently with the
finger tips.
By morning, most if not all, of your dandruff will be gone, and three or
four more applications will com
pletely dissolve and entirely destroy every single sign and trace of it, no matter how much dandruff you may
have.
You will find all itching and digging
of the scalp will stop instantly, and your hair will be fluffy, lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and look and
feel a hundred times better. Adv.
